[Q] Stuck on "Performing factory data reset" - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

I removed the ICS build and use ODIN to return back to stock build.
Still having some problem so i did a data reset. It keep getting stuck there and i already done it three times.
Any suggestions?

So you flashed GB stock.tar through Odin? Do you mean factory/data reset in clockwork recovery? Flashing back to stock should take away your root so you would have to flash CWM again, make a nandroid backup, and flash superuser zip again.
What problems where you having before and after the ICS build?
Explain a bit further exactly what you did.

I installed STOCK Tar using ODIN.
It is booting up fine except i keep getting errors like "android.process.acore" has stopped unexpectedly. Most of the android apps is not working, like phone, contacts, calendars, etc.
I try to do a factory reset and it keep stopping halfway and hangs.

Your going to have to flash the kj2 modem. I had the same problem. I saw that the ucalc4 was still there, its on its own partition so it doesn't get changed when you flash stock tar. What I did...
1. Flash cwm in Odin
2. Boot into cwm (do backup)
3. Flash kj2 modem (I did it twice)
4. Reboot
5. Check baseband (should be uckj2)
This made the FC's go away. It seemed to me that the stock tar doesn't like that baseband, I can't explain why though. Didn't make sense to me but I fixed it. Also I found the ICS leak doesn't like stock recovery. Fyi

Little bit lost here.
I already flash it twice using ODIN and using the uckj2 build.

Build is one thing, baseband is different. When you flash stock your build will be uckj2, you say your on it. OK good. Now check your baseband, will probably still be the ICS baseband ucalc4, that is your modem. You need to flash the uckj2 modem in cwm. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20157930
Once you flash that your baseband will be uckj2. That should fix your fc's. Did for me. If not, you may need to try something else which I will explain if need be that will clean things up.

OK. What you need to do then is clean things up. There are two ways that I use but I prefer #1.
1. Flash darkside superwipe in cwm. Do a battery pull. Go into Odin and flash k0nanes tar.
OR
2. Flash stock recovery. Wipe data/factory reset. Do a battery pull. Go into Odin and flash k0nanes tar.
Then you can cwm, root, flash anything you want.

Thanks a lot hcyplr29 and Presbycusis.
I use darkside's flash and then reload stock.
Everything is fine now.

Glad to hear that. I swear by darkside between ROMS.

Yah....Darkside.Wipe is killer. Glad to hear your back in action. It is confusing at first getting OS version, kernel, and modem all strait. It is a good learning experience.

basically those fc's were becuz the partition table needs to be reset after flashing ics to go back to gb. Darkside does this.

stuck in bootloop and other subsequent issues

Well, I attempted to use SGS kernel flasher to install the infuseGB kernel. Now I'm stuck with a bootloop and I need help fixing it.
Anyways, Odin confuses the crap out of me. I put my phone in download mode but all odin does is light up a box with com3 in it. I've reinstalled drivers but I'm not sure what to do next.
All help is appreciated.
I had a similar issue after flashing a kernel that way.
What ended up fixing the boot loop was using Odin to flash the stock Rogers kernel.

I'll try that if I can:
A: figure out how to use odin properly
B: find the stock AT&T kernel
This has turned into one big mess.
Well, I figured that out.
Now what is the proper way to flash a kernel from bone stock?
I'm rooted.
I'm installing 3e recovery.

There's three ways...
1. SGS flasher (obviously not working for you)
2. Flash from recovery if kernel is in a zip file
3. Flash through Odin or Heimdall
Remember to flash a GB kernel you must first be on a GB rom!

Ok, I think this is my problem. I'm not on a GB ROM I don't think.
I've got the kernel in zip format. Should I install, say for example, the doctorz ROM and them flash the kernel?
My cwm recovery is dark green,will I still be ok?

download the attatched kernel zip
Open SGS Kernel Flasher, select choose kernel, select the file you downloaded, and select flash kernel. Your phone will reboot and begin to enable Voodoo lagfix. Let it do that and boot all the way up. It will take a while (5-10 minutes) because it's converting all partitions to ext4.
Download chosen rom zip and place it on your internal SD card.
Power off your phone.
With the phone powered off, hold both volume keys and the power button for about 10 seconds and then release. This should boot you into RED CWM.
Select "install zip from sdcard" and select chosen rom zip.
Once that finishes, select "wipe data/factory reset".
Select "reboot system now".
once rebooted sgs flash the any GB kernel you want, remember to read and make sure which ever kernel your choosing is GB or Froyo
I flashed it, and thankfully it didn't bootloop. However, my cwm is still green.
Scratch that, we are in the red now! You are a king among men.

GB OTA manual update.zip-leaked!

Thanks to spjetrovic we have the update.zip for the GB update for your use now
http://www.multiupload.com/HAG3RFTBY6
1. Follow imnuts instructions for preparing for OTA found here http://rootzwiki.com/topic/10202-how-to-prepare-for-the-gb-ota/
2. place file on root of SD card and rename to update.zip
3. boot to stock recovery and select apply update.zip from sd card
It takes a while to complete, so be patient. Make sure you have plenty of battery.
ps. No one is responsible for what you do to your phone except you. This has been tested by at least a dozen people in IRC and works flawlessly when you follow the directions.
pss. this build is 4 days newer than "EP4P" regardless of what the numbering scheme may be.
This belongs in the dev section, also what is included? ROM, KERNEL, RADIO?

GOS,
It is the OTA update that will roll out later next week. It contains all the changes from EE4 to EP4 rom/kernel/recovery/ect.. It is just changes, by no way a stand-alone flash.
And I didn't post in Development, because I didn't develop it. It can be moved if the mods think it belongs there.
Did any of you successfully rooted this?
Just in case no one completely reads the post by Imnuts because I know most people don't.....
You HAVE to flash imoseyon's kernel or you recovery will NOT stick!

you can't let the phone boot after you flash CWM. unselect auto-reboot and then boot straight to recovery after flash
Here are my instructions for getting all this to work:
BEFORE YOU ODIN BACK TO EE4, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE SU FLASHABLE ZIP, THE OTA UPDATE AND IMOSEYON'S KERNEL ON YOUR SDCARD!
Make sure the update file is renamed to "update" and that it's on the root of your sdcard. (not in any folders or anything)
Odin back to EE4. Reboot normally.
Turn the phone off, then reboot into Stock Recovery and run the update.
Once the update finishes and the phone boots regularly. Reboot into Download Mode and plug the phone into the computer.
Start Odin, Uncheck "Auto Reboot", select PDA, NOT PHONE!
Click on the PDA tab and find your recovery file then click "start."
Once it is done and you see the word "PASS" on Odin, unplug the usb cable and press down all three buttons to boot into recovery (volume up, home, power)
Once in recovery, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, mount /system and flash the SU flashable zip.
Go back and wipe cache and dalvik again, mount /system again and flash the kernel.
After that, your recovery will stick and you're good to go. You are now rooted and running on EP4D.
Sorry for the dumb question but after searching, I can't find the answer; how do I access the stock recovery?

You will only get this OTA or be able to use this update if you are on stock, unrooted EE4. You can't get there from any other point.
You can also wait a bit (probably less than a week) and someone will publish full Odins of EP4D. I'm personally not leaving EP4P until we have a deodexed version of EP4D and some themes.
Ah hell..that is a pain in the ass. I'll wait to see if they fixed the crackling on incoming calls before I go through the hassel.

[Q] I am stuck in a CWM boot loop.

Hello all, I need your help. Today I flashed a zip on a whim, and it has ruined my whole day.
I have managed to get back to CWM v2.5.1.3 RED, and can flash zips and clear cashes, all that. But when I reboot, it brings me right back to CWM. Any help for me? I am lost.
Thanks in advanced,
Nate
P.S. I am not afraid of the command line.
Try odin?
I have tried GTG Unbrick. That's how I've gotten as far as I have.
How long does it usually take? I'm staring at the Odin screen for about 5mins now and it still says "Set Partition" and "DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!"
Alright, FIXED, I just needed to keep retrying. It took like 5 attempts to get it going right.

Soft brick after kernel flashing fail.

My phone has been soft bricked after trying to flash the latest dkp kernel. I was using philz touch recovery and I tried to flash dkp kernel 3-20 build, and I got an error during flashing saying that it couldn't decompress the ramdisk. So I tried to flash the older version of dkp that I was using, and it failed to flash! I have never had problems like this before. So now my phone will not boot to system or go back to recovery. I can only access download mode. I was using CM11 with the ML1 modem and dkp kernel before my phone got bricked. It really frustrates me that my phone just randomly decided to freak out and brick itself, because I've been doing the same thing forever and never had any problems flashing a kernel. Please tell me how I can fix my phone. Thank you.

Well when I pulled the battery and tried to reboot a samsung logo with an unlocked symbol was underneath it and it still gets stuck on the 4g LTE screen. Also, it won't allow me to enter the recovery.
So I went back to download mode on my screen and i noticed that it still says "System Status: Custom"

You have to be able to boot into recovery, make sure you hold the volume up + home for an extended period of time.
If you can't, you need to Odin the stock rom and try again.

That's the exact one that I just used. It didn't seem to restore to stock with that.

Don't know what else to tell you, it's a completely stock file.
Recovery, system, kernel, and bootloader.
If you can't boot into recovery it must've not flashed perfectly or something else is wrong, like your hardware.

I highly doubt that it is a hardware issue. I just tried to ODIN again and I'm in the same situation. One thing that I have noticed is that it tries to reinstall the MTP driver after using ODIN and it fails to install.
EDIT: Nevermind. I was able to enter recovery this time. I just did a factory reset. Hopefully it boots now. I will report back with results.
UPDATE: Ok. Everything seems fine now. Used casual to root and unlock bootloader again. Then installed PhilZ Touch Recovery. Now I am making a backup, and I am going to flash a Kit Kat Rom.
